I would like to lodge a complaint. Can streaming movies and series stop showing text conversations on cell phones as if we can see and read those images?

Catalan Toast I first came across this in a tapas bar in Barcelona about 100 years ago. Rather different than, say, Italian bruschetta, where the tomatoes are chopped and tumbled on toast, Pa amb tomaquet (as this ...

#RecipeOfTheDay is what the Spanish call pan con tomate (pa amb tomaquet in Catalan) and what’s known in my house as Catalan Toast. It’s very simple, but you do need a proper, good, ripe tomato. And yes, I do like my toast charred at the edges! www.nigella.com/recipes/cata...

“Both of them.”

Off the rails.

Tom Lehrer, master satirist of Cold War era, dies at 97 In song, he brilliantly skewered clichés about romance, patriotism and small-town life.

The Washington Post has a wonderful obit of Tom Lehrer. I laughed out loud many times. Here's a gift link, and here's this piece (or its traffic) will convince whoever is running that place to replenish and respect the obit section. 1/2 🎁https://wapo.st/3J6GVeA

And was this "interview" written up and documented immediately afterwards in Maxwell's case file? If so, was anyone else from DOJ even there to corroborate that Blanche's record is accurate?

The whole thing stinks and is just dumb on its face

‘Daily Show’ co-creator weighs in on Colbert show cancellation: This is a ‘warning shot’ CBS is canceling The Late Show with Stephen Colbert after hitting a ten-year ratings high this year. This just days after Colbert blasted the network’s $16-million dollar settlement with the Trump administration, which he characterized as a “big fat bribe.” Now that parent company Paramount Global’s $8-billion dollar merger with Skydance has been greenlit by Trump's FCC, many are asking if the decision to cancel was purely a financial one. Daily Show Co-Creator, Lizz Winstead says "to just drop the franchise itself...that says to me we're afraid."

The landscape of late-night television is changing with the cancellation of the Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Daily Show Co-Creator, @lizzwinstead.bsky.social, argues that sharp political comedy is needed more than ever. “Now it's on us. It's harder, but it's important." #Velshi

I love me some Gavin! 😆

While the studio audience – and many viewers - clearly agreed with the eloquent sentiment, the show’s bosses did not. Now it looks like Colbert may not even make it to the end of the series next year, as, according to journalist Rob Shuter, there have been words had with Colbert, and they have come “very close” to pulling him off-air. After reportedly calling a emergency meeting the morning after Cobert’s show aired, two senior executives reportedly said: “He's daring us to fire him. And honestly? We’re close to doing it. He’s been warned. What he said was unacceptable. There are real consequences this time.”

Supposedly after pretending it was about money they're just openly talking in meetings about how they'll trash contracts and fire comedians for the absolutely unprescedented act of... making fun of the president on a late night talk show.

Dictator shit.

Oh I have been waiting on this one.

After 2 years of measles resurgence in ‘89 and ‘90 (15k+ & 25k+ cases) the US recommended a 2nd MMR dose.

Cases plummeted & the US was declared measles free in 2000 (only cases brought from outside the country).

Then anti-vax behavior set in & now we have a year w/ the most cases since 1992.

Nobel Prize organization on Facebook: Did you know anyone can be nominated for a Nobel Prize? Hundreds or thousands of nominations are received for the Nobel Prize every year from members of academies, university professors, scientists, previous Nobel Prize laureates, members of parliamentary assemblies and more. In theory anybody could be put forward for a prize and as such being nominated is in no way an endorsement by the Nobel Prize. That is reserved for those individuals and organisations that are selected as Nobel Prize laureates.

Epic subtweet by the Nobel Prize people yesterday

Torres: If the bill is so popular, why are the cuts largely delayed until after the midterm election? And if the bill surgically targets fraud, waste and abuse, why is it necessary to set up a $50 billion stabilization fund for rural hospitals?

This is the kind of excessive force case DOJ routinely prosecutes. They should open an investigation here, based on the misconduct not the victims status.

Juneteenth calls us to understand the realities of our past, celebrate the resilience and achievements of Black Americans, and align the course of our country toward its founding creed of liberty and justice for all. Wishing everyone a meaningful Juneteenth!

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu announced Tuesday that she signed an executive order seeking greater transparency from federal immigration officials. She said the city will submit regular Freedom of Information Act requests to find out who ICE is detaining and on what grounds.

Navarro: I'm very happy to see somebody that isn't afraid to speak up and call an authoritarian an authoritarian. And if it's Newsom, as a result of what's happening in California now, I welcome it because I have been so thirsty for somebody that is not cowardly

The Felon used this section (12406) of Title 10 under US Law to justify use of National Guard.

It says "Orders for these purposes shall be issued through the governors of the States".

Surprise - he is violating the LAW he claimed as justification.

States that are committed to following science - REAL science - should form joint interstate task forces to help craft sensible policies to protect our public health.

We are still at risk of another pandemic. With the CDC being destroyed from within, we need state departments of health to step up.

@clairewillett honestly the best marketing scheme in history is men successfully getting away with calling women the "more emotional" gender for like, EONS, because they've successfully rebranded anger as Not An Emotion 6:00 PM • Aug 12, 2020
